going to try and do my own tire changes. the service manual says to raise the rear wheel high enough to remove the axle. how much higher can i expect to lift it to remove the wheel and tire?
thanks,
bob
2008 ultra classic w/ abs all stock
edit: do you guys remove the brake disc as well or can this all be done with that intact?
needs to be approx 3 ft off the ground. high enough to clear fender. then lay on ground with 2x4 uner rim 2x4 on top of rim by bead. drive car on board till bead breaks. then use spoons to remove. lots of lube!
The reason I say that is after I removed my rear tire I went to the front. The sissor jack is powdercoated and so is the frame. No rubber. Left off the weight of the front tire and the bike started sliding rearward away from me. Talk about tightening \\; up your grommet
